Illustration by Alex Castro The Verge YouTube Snapchat Gmail Nest Discord and a number of other web services are suffering from outages in the US today The root cause appears to be problems with Googles Cloud service which powers apps other than just Googles own web services Google has issued a status update on its Cloud dashboard noting that issues began at around 3 25PM ET 12 25PM PT The issues appear to be mostly affecting those on the East Coast of the US but some YouTube and Gmail users across Europe are also reporting that theyre unable to access the services Discord and Snapchat users are experiencing issues logging into the apps and these both use Google Cloud on the backend The problems for YouTube follow high profile outages for the popular video service in January and October YouTube was down for an hour and a half earlier this year before Google restored service Weve reached out to Google for comment on the Cloud issues and well update you accordingly
